in his stomach and a shotgun at his side on the garage floor by his wife, Ella,

Rivers.
Mr. Lensing was born in 1886 in the town of Mishicot where he had operated a
homestead farm all his life. In 1917 he married Ella Witte of Mishicot. He was
a church officer for many years.
He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Ellen, a high school teacher of Blue
River, Wis., and Louis, a secretary at Allis-Chalmers company in Milwaukee; one
son, William Jr., a student at Stout Institute in Menominie; and three sisters,
Mrs. Minna Haese of Forest Junction, Wis., Mrs. John Kriehn of Two Rivers, and
Mrs. Ernst Heling of Neshoto.
The body may be viewed at the Specht funeral home in Mishicot from Sunday
afternoon until 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when it will be moved to the church.
